He brought her Stones and moss, Oyster shells, And silver And jade, But the starlight Shimmering Within His Ink dark wings Was The greatest gift He gave... #VSS365 #Writing #Poetry

Small personal Shinto shrine. Japan

misty morning white roses growing near the graves #haiku #poetry (wrote a version of this about something I saw on my way to work last week and forgot to write it down)

Three patients in a room. One on the floor stretched out like a cat in warm sunlight, dozing. One stood on her bed singing with many voices, all wildly out of tune. And me in my corner wanting to scream, but biting my tongue. #SenseWrds Prompt 213 #poetry #chollop

Lazy, almost bored, Conservative choruses, Voiceless sopranos. #SenseWrds #Prompt213 #haiku #senryu #poem #writing #writingcommunity @sensewords.bsky.social

#sensewrds Prompt 212 Time Forgetful Awakening What was and What should never be The clock tick-tocks Mocking me I can’t go back It’s onward only Until the hands clap And my eyes open

Count to five— think of how long you’ve really watched me. Count to three— think of how many of my habits you could name. Count to two— think of whether you still love me. Truth isn’t something you can count, and yet I keep counting. #poetry　#freeverse

12.49am. The day a newborn already tastes like ashen petals in my mouth. #BSPP52 #poetry #poem #skypoetry #poetrycommunity #chollop

See the drowned fences where a village used to be- now a reservoir. #BSPP52 #poetry #haiku #skypoetry #poetrycommunity #chollop

Magnolias are hemorrhaging across the garden. The alabaster blossoms are tearing open their trunks, turning a carpet of green into a lake of red. Prompt: bleeding magnolias #BSPP52 #poetry #poem #skypoetry #poetrycommunity #chollop

Monochrome urban geometry. Three words emerge here. Eglinton crossing scene. #ThreeWordGenre

forgive yourself— the river never asks where the water has been #haiku #poetry

Emptiness feeling around for words a grasp in daylight poisonous tendrils now I understand too late shallow breath too late #poetry

I'm thrilled to announce I found some stray words tucked away inside my sorrow spruced their feathers and let them fly into the dawn eclectic energy crackling on rustling syllables #emoetry thrilled #poetry

A sea-sky answers heaven’s distant flame, And I am named by you, as you by me are named.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

What gravity holds me, thy soaring doth break, Thou fascinate the soul from its clod of clay; As hawk to heaven, so my spirit’s tethered gaze Finds Love the higher air through which all things make way.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ #vss365

time flies, up we reach clouded skies, vertigo, voids until we take wing #2wordprompt #until #wing #senryu

Recovery begins the moment the mind chooses the life that exists beyond the bottle. #chollop #alcoholism

Solitude is my sanctuary- I am the sunrise I once sought elsewhere. #chollop #atpeace

we never did vows but somewhere along the way we chose every day #haikufeels #Marry #Senryu #Haiku #Poetry #Micropoetry #JustWrite #BlueskyPoets

Don’t forget to take care of yourself. Don’t forget to rest. Don’t forget to read banned books. Don’t forget to dream. Don’t forget to become a terrifying legend that timid townsfolk whisper about in the dark.

The sun bursts A constant glare It burns deep My skin crawls Want to scream Fist against glass Reflections shatter My own face All meaning gone Just pure heat It sears clean I'm breaking Into small shards The suffocating day Never ends here Just pure white Pain, only pain #BSPP52 #skypoets #jchollop

Trickery is the language of the unkind, mighty serpents manipulate the naive souls luring them with polished lies, in truth’s wake their beliefs became tattered paper planes, trapped in storm-bent sorrows. #vss365 #inkMine #poetry #thingstowriteabout #emoetry #BSPP52 #writing #poem #poetsofbluesky

Through the howling winds, comes the things they fear most. They descend with Fire, the Spirit and the Holy Ghost. #BSPP52 #poetry #poem #poetrycommunity #jchollop

I think for so many, it boils down to this: The thought of life without you at some capacity made me so sad until I realized that version of you didn't exist. #poetry #grief #ComplicatedGrief

Memory, Coiled around her, Constricting. She needs to forget Lest it consume her. abridged #tanka #poetry #micropoetry

I suffer the merciless sun— waiting to prowl under the veil of night. Don’t be alarmed to find me lurking… weaving between shadows, bathing in moonbeams, stark naked, lying with the wolves. Alive, in ways you’ve never known. #VSS365 - Wolves #Poetry #SkyPoem

I felt... numb ... this morning. Around 845am, I finally was able to write a poem I was proud of longer than BlueSky limits and the rest of the day followed. #thankful #poetry #poem #unknown #questions #grief #pain #MovingOn #joy

Hide me in driftwood, tide-heavy bones ready to sleep fold me in your breath, warm from that inner world of which I am a stranger, so I can breathe while I drown and when the #wolves feast, let it be your eyes that hold me. #vss365 #poem #poetry #blueskypoets

the poetry we wear all that we adorn all that we unravel annihilated in the umbra of such grace the esculent nature of words penned to sate the sustenance of beauty the succulence of sincerity #UnchainedSymphonies

"Before the First Note" It begins in the pulse, before consent, a quickened beat that draws me to the keys, as if the weight has chosen where I sit, and I arrive, already in reply, the first note placed before I can refuse... #music #piano #poem #poetry #PoetryCommunity #amwriting #BlueSkyPoetry

She holds a globe Its milky light Throw ghosts upon The walls of heaven Some smile Others show their claws She's one alone In a treasure trove Of many reflections Where Stars speak to her And Moonbeams whisper She feels the sky Hold her tight And In return Her heart shouts love

Claim as mine own Your nefarious heart And Its magic ensnarement Unholy light Upon distance Hardly seen Yet it's there Waiting Abiding Impassioned And Impatient Can I prevent myself From walking To you and stepping in No I cannot I was already lost To you Before I knew

there is a moment just before evening when things lose their edges cars soften into grey voices into shapes you into someone you almost recognise and you stay there longer than you should

A glass half full, Hoping for the best, Optimist on some days, But mostly very stressed, Rose coloured vision, Her clouds with silver lining, Sometimes slightly grumpy, But endeavours to be shining. #thingstowriteabout glass

Crashing shores they came clawing down on me Dragged me deep to the #undersea I found my destiny hidden in the depths A host of nothingness became my wonderment The last traces of me glided up above The air I no longer needed left forevermore #vss365 #undersea #poem #poetry

Does it itch Lily ? The scar, Under the blackness Of your tight jeans. Remember the tear? Inside a paraffin drop. Good Job, As you refused to stop. Then his red flame, Came from your back.. Brought our Father, Out from under the sea. Owl, He couldn't leave the tree #vss365 #undersea
